Agreed! I don't mind the occasional intrusion. There are enough problems with distracted drivers. Yesterday, going to a doctor, stuck in a traffic jam, some idiot in a beemer rear ended my wife's brand new Murano Platinum. Thank God there was no damage! About two miles later, 5 mile backup, the idiot came close again. I got out of the car and told him to get off his fxxxxxg phone. With aholes reading newspapers while in their Tesla's, I think it's good Ford makes us hold the wheel. Self driving cars are not the panacea everyone thinks they are! And there are dead people to prove it! And, no, I am not saying any of you are driving without holding the wheel! GlennAs mentioned, the steering sensor goes off of weight. You can't cup the wheel from the bottom or it will alert you.
On the subject. Why am I the only one who is disturbed that people are bitching about keeping both hands on the wheel while your car literally steers itself? Have we really gotten that spoiled and immune to safe driving? People are so quick to rip on distracted drivers, but we're going to get mad about a nanny alert for a convince feature that we dont need and is arguably much less safe than driving with both hands on the wheel like we've been doing for the last 100 years?
Rant over.
